Creating a love of reading in children is potentially one of the most powerful ways to improve children’s progress in school, and beyond into the wider world. Come and join us for a FREE fun filled morning that will focus on understanding how children learn to read and the skills they need to become successful independent readers. Experts in literacy are unanimous in their belief that parents reading with their children make a huge impact of their learning, so we will give you top tips and strategies when helping your child to read at home. Activities provided for boys and girls, aged 0-5. Older siblings also welcome.

Kent College is unique in providing girls with a personalised and bespoke education, rooted in the concept that intelligence is not fixed, but can be grown. Learn how each of our girls has a broad academic programme and choice of over 100 extra-curricular activities.

Join us for breakfast, followed by a range of outdoor activities. You’ll get the chance to explore our ancient bluebell woodlands, see the KC beehives and visit our outdoor adventure trail! We’ll also be talking about our plans for introducing Forest School into the curriculum. Tours of the school will be available.

Admissions

Early Years

Generally girls join the nursery class at two and a half in the term that they turn 3.

Girls joining in September need to attend a minimum of three sessions (one session = either morning or afternoon attendance) a week, but have the opportunity of signing up for as many sessions as they wish. For some girls this may mean that they attend full-time. In addition, nursery girls can attend Breakfast Club and After School Care.

The sessions available for those girls entering at the spring and summer terms will be dependent on numbers in our current nursery class. At present the sessions are Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.

Attendance is flexible in the Nursery class as the girls get used to their new environment and settle in. During the year they are expected to increase the number of sessions they attend so that by the time they enter the Reception class they are attending full time.

Prep School

For entry into Nursery, Reception and Years 1 and 2, places are awarded according to availability and there are no entrance tests. The School operates a registrations’ list and we recommend that parents register their daughter in advance to ensure a place is available.

Girls wishing to join Years 3-6 are invited to attend a Taster Day and, during their visit, sit tests in English and mathematics. Places are then offered on the basis of performance in these tests. Prospective boarders are invited for a Taster Day and overnight stay to give them a feel for the boarding community.

Visiting us

We hold whole school Open Mornings in October, February and April and Early Years Open Mornings in January and May when prospective girls and their parents are invited to come and see the school and to meet the pupils and staff. Click here to book for an upcoming Open Morning.

In addition, the Head is very happy to see parents on an individual basis so that you can have a look around the school, meet the staff and pupils, and discuss your daughter's education.
